Hunter Biden’s ex-wife Kathleen Buhle and his late brother Beau Biden’s widow Hallie Biden are among the women special counsel David Weiss’ office advised calling to testify in his felony gun case in court documents filed ahead of a June 3 trial.
The government filed a trial brief late on Monday that contained the revelations. The legislation and supporting documentation for the prosecution’s case that Hunter Biden committed three felonies in 2018 when he obtained a handgun while under the influence of drugs are contained in the 97-page document.
Hunter Biden entered a not guilty plea.
Buhle or Hallie Biden are not named in the document. However, their identities are evident from the descriptions.
Prosecutors stated in the complaint that, “Witness 1 was previously married to the defendant. They divorced in April 2017, but through 2018 she would check his vehicle from time to time because she did not want their children in a vehicle with drugs.”
Witness 3 is a lady who, according to the prosecution, “was in a romantic relationship with the defendant in October 2018, and before and after.”
“Witness 3 will also establish that the defendant possessed the gun and she discarded it in an outdoor trash receptacle at the Janssen’s Market in Wilmington, Delaware after removing it from his vehicle,” prosecutors stated.
Prosecutors seek to name a third unnamed woman who “was previously in a romantic relationship” with Biden and who “observed the defendant using crack cocaine frequently—every 20 minutes except when he slept.”

Weiss’s office prosecutors have stated that they plan to heavily rely on sections of Hunter Biden’s 2021 memoir, “Beautiful Things,” which discuss his addiction. Additionally, they intend to introduce into evidence a number of texts that show his addiction at the time of his October 12, 2018, gun purchase.
Judge Maryellen Noreika will preside over the trial, which is set to start in Wilmington, Delaware, on June 3.
Hunter Biden filed an appeal earlier on Monday after Noreika turned down his request to have the charges dropped. A similar attempt has already been rejected by a panel of federal appellate judges.
Biden’s attempts to push back the trial have been continually thwarted by Noreika.
Authorities claim that when Biden bought a Colt Cobra 38SPL handgun in 2018, he lied on a federal document regarding his drug use.
Biden later admitted in his memoir, “Beautiful Things,” that he had a drug addiction at the time. According to his lawyers, he had the gun for 11 days but never shot it.
Weiss, the special counsel, indicted Biden in September of last year.
